One day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d just run across Armagh County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I’d just run across the great state of Ulster. And that’s what I did. I ran clear across Ulster For no particular reason I just kept on running and decided to run all around Ireland , maybe after 3 years of running I just might decide to stop and buy myself a nice little shrimp farm.
Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There’s shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That, that’s about it.

Nose before toes - Chi Running
The first I heard of Chi Running was in a book that my brother Gary recommended for me called The Four Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss. Intrigued by the potential benefits of the technique, I began to practice chi walking and then progressed to running. It took a while to get the hang of the technique but now I actually find it so much easier than the way I used to run.
Children tend to practice chi running naturally, their upper bodies tip slightly forward as they amble about. But as we grow older, we seem to grow out of it. The key difference between chi and upright or normal running is that you lean with your body rather than stretching your leg out in front of you. The most important factors are posture and the way your foot hits the ground.
Running normally causes a ‘heel strike’ which is when the heel of the foot hits the ground first. This causes a repercussion which adversely affects the back, knee and hip joints. When chi running, the ball of the foot comes down first, giving b...
